Wish I could of made it there tonight but I think it was a blessing in disguise, Caitlin was poorly so I decided not to go but after 5 hours I managed to convince Kev to go without me. He set off rather late but at least he would be able to play the STT's, tourney tomorrow and get the dtd experience on the opening week...

He'd been driving for a couple of hours when I received a call... "Jane, I've crashed the car....."

HE'S OK!!! - the car... not so much.

So I've been trying to sort out travel arrangements for Kev stuck in the middle of nowhere, car recovery, sort out insurance and what a nightmare it's been... so much for being Fully Comp with full breakdown cover. All I can say is thank god I wasn't driving, we may not of got away so lightly.

Is the wedding still on?

Harmony and I have been playing, chilling, socialising and dining at "Dusk Till Dawn" this weekend, and we have had a fantastic time. Which from the tone of the posts made by others, has been an experience shared by all who have visited DTD this weekend.

From the very moment we opened the doors and our eyes fell upon the tiered rows of poker tables we knew that we had found a true haven for poker and the many people who love to play the game. Harmony described DTD as an "Oasis", a place where you were seperated from all things, a place where you and YOUR enjoyment of the poker you wanted to play was paramount.

DTD certainly has it's own sense of place, a character and ambience that comes from a combination of the physical enviroment, the lighting, the style and the staff and yet the total is much more than a simple sum of these parts, it is simply something special.

One thing that is most evident is that people who play at ANY level are made to feel welcome, those visiting DTD are catered for via a wide range of games and limits that will make everyone from a home game player to the highest of high rollers happy.

It goes without saying that the helpful staff, from dealers to valets are one of the most important parts to making a visit so enjoyable, all were helpful and friendly making you feel right at home.

DTD also put on some of the finest food, and we thoroughly enjoyed just going there to eat, watch some of the action and maybe join a game later, it all felt like popping around to a friends house for an evening.

We, and I am quite sure it applies to the rest of the poker playing community, are very thankful that Rob and Nick had that fateful conversation one night and had the sheer determination to see their original idea become a reality, and what a reality it became.

Thanks to their, and all of the team behind the creation of DTD, hard work we have a true "Home" for poker and it's players in Europe.

We are just thankful that we are local to DTD and can pop into our "home away from home" on a whim !

Well done Rob, Nick, Simon, Darren and everybody at DTD.

All the best,

Bainn & Harmony.

Hi people,

First post on this forum which I found whilst trying to find out eventual result of DTD £500 at the weekend. Looking at the pics I'm pretty sure that it was the eventual winner that bust me in 14th at some unhealthy hour of Sunday morning when, having spent hours nursing a short stack to the verge of the final table, I thought I might just have made it as I looked down at AJs utg and Steve called in the big blind. Only problem was he had AA!! Ah well.....

Still, I had a great time in only my second live tournament and I wanted to echo all the good things that everyone else has said about the venue - many congrats and best wishes for the future to Rob, Simon and everyone involved

Its been interesting reading the posts above and putting some names to faces that I played with...

Fran, think it was you sitting on my left when I bust, and it seems you went out one after me...unlucky! (you should have called me with the 55 ;-)  )
Matt Tyler....I am so glad the winner thinks he's a nightmare to play against with chips too!! I came away having learned at least one lesson that I won't forget..

pushing me allin on the river with 4s2s (so you said) on all red and straight heavy board ring any bells (having put me on AK/AQ and giving me hard time for overbetting it) ?!

It was AA by the way and was STILL bugging me hours later :-)

Hi Jim,

it was me that got you with the AA sorry about that, i also thought that Fran should have called you when she had 55, that was however the only mistake i saw her make in quite a few hours of play.

Glad my chips were able to win the title one way or another anyway !!

Wasn't meant as a criticism of Fran's play by the way (having reread my post can see it might come across that way) - I'm wary of calling with small pairs shortstacked myself even though I know I should. Usually a big weakness of mine, waiting too long to make a move because I want to get chips in first, and I had made a conscious effort to keep some fold equity last weekend, right till the end where I was struggling to find a decent spot. It was more the fact that Fran would have been very happy with what I turned over had she have called !!

Congrats on taking it down.
